DAY 427 (3rd Mirtul)(May)
Something that had been on my mind for a while was to go back to the Vast Swamp and check in at the Last Refuge or the Lost Refuge or Wisphaven or whatever people were calling it.
It's only 120 miles north of Westgate so reachable in a day by air. Today I decided to give it a go and in the shape of a Giant Owl and with Lavinia on my back I flew over there. It took about ten hours, it would have been quicker with a more favourable wind, and we arrived in the evening.
The Sharptooth Clan and K their leader were still there. Spending the night in the guard house tonight. I'll take a look at the rest of the place in the morning.
DAY 428 (4th Mirtul)(May)
Spent today looking about the Lost Refuge, checking out the structures and the immediate surroundings. The Vast Swamp is home to lizardmen, orcs, trolls, hydras and all other manner of nasty beasties.
There are some forested areas, but its mainly marshland. It's a wild and unexplored region and I am gently floating the idea with Lavinia of staying here a while so that I can study it further. I've seen twenty new species of beetle today alone!
Much of the region is more akin to flooded forest, and in the southern part, closest
to the sea, mists roll in constantly, shrouding the area in gloomy fog. At this time
of year though it is not too bad.
After lunch I flew around the local region, out to about ten miles and saw small villages of lizardmen, orcs and troglodytes. I saw the freshly dead body of an eight-headed hydra.
I wonder what killed it?
I also used my Lay of the Land spell as well, which more or less covered the entire Swamp.
In the evening I talked to K. He tells me that the shadowed lizardmen, what's left of them are to the south west. The clans of Blunt-tooth and Darkfang are to the north and north-west. Further north are where the hydra are most common and other wild monsters.
K only really knows the five miles or so around the Lost Refuge with any level of accuracy as his tribe rarely venture further out than that.
It's hard to say whether he is that happy that we are back or not, but it's difficult to know when dealing with lizardmen, they are a savage lot.
